"Then I won't be polite. Come here, take the radish." He said with a smile.

"Yes!"

"By the way, were these two bastards blocking you outside the door without informing you?" Xiao Changhe's face suddenly became serious.

The two clerks broke out in cold sweats at this moment, feeling that their lives were hanging by a thread, and looked at Guan Ning pleading for help.

Guan Ning smiled and replied with kindness, "Uncle Xiao, don't blame them. They are just doing their job. After all, the Censorate is such a sacred place, they should conduct more inspections."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Changhe nodded in agreement with Guan Ning.

"You two, take care of yourselves!" He warned sternly. Having been an official for decades, how could he not see that Guan Ning was carrying a carrot and was being harassed.

The two clerks trembled and spoke incoherently: "Yes, yes, yes!"

Then he looked at Guan Ning and said, "Nephew, let's go inside and talk."

Guan Ning glanced at the many people in the Censorate and the officials moving around, and said hesitantly, "Uncle Xiao, why don't we take a walk outside?"

Xiao Changhe was stunned for a moment: "Okay!"

Then, the two of them strolled side by side on the street.

"Nephew, if you have something to say, please tell me."

"As expected, nothing can be hidden from Uncle Xiao. This time I came here because I really need your help with something." Guan Ning said.

"Hahaha, feel free to say it." Xiao Changhe seemed enthusiastic.

"I would like to ask Uncle Xiao to help me pass a message to the harem." Guan Ning tried.

"Harem?!" Xiao Changhe was shocked and stopped. He then looked around and frowned seriously: "My dear nephew, why are you sending a message to the harem?"

"That's a forbidden area. You're an outsider, and this is a taboo!"

Guan Ning smiled bitterly, he knew that Xiao Changhe's reaction would be quite big.

"It's a long story. Isn't the Double Ninth Festival banquet coming up? I was asked to make a treasure and send it to the harem. A certain lady wants to present a treasure to His Majesty. That's about it."

Hearing this, Xiao Changhe's expression looked better.

"I see. Well, then it's not a big deal."

"But it's still not right."

"My dear nephew, the harem is a very special place. Although I know you are just giving gifts and treasures, others may not think so when they hear it."

"Once something bad gets out, the disaster that will be caused will be beyond your imagination!" he warned solemnly.

Guan Ning nodded: "Don't worry, Uncle Xiao, I know what I'm doing."

"So I'd like you to notify the person inside and ask her to send a maid to retrieve it. From now on, I will try my best to avoid such incidents."

Xiao Changhe hesitated for a moment, but seeing Guan Ning so calm, he didn't say anything else.

"Let's do it."

"Is it that concubine? I'll ask someone to pass on the message."

"Yapin." Guan Ning said.

Xiao Changhe didn't even know who this concubine was, but she sounded familiar and he thought she was probably an inconspicuous concubine.

"You just need to tell her to send someone to the Rose Tower in the east of the city to pick up the tribute." Guan Ning said again.

"it is good!"

Xiao Changhe nodded. This wasn't a difficult task, nor was it a big deal. He waved to his confidant, Song Bilu, and said, "Take this old man's letter and go to the palace to pick up the reward His Majesty gave you last time. On the way, find Eunuch Fu and ask him to help pass on the message. Tell them to come to the Rose Tower in the east of the city to pick up the tribute."

"Yes!" Song Bilu nodded.

"Thank you, Uncle Xiao." Guan Ning bowed with a smile. Now the task was accomplished. Once the things were delivered, he could wait for good news at home.

"Haha, it's no big deal. It's rare for you to come here, nephew. Let's go to the street and have some tea and chat."

"to make!"

The old man and the young man followed each other, talking and laughing, like close friends.

But what no one noticed was that in the crowd three hundred meters behind Guan Ning, there was a pair of cold and cunning eyes staring at Guan Ning.

As if he sensed the presence of Yipintang in the dark, he didn't dare to get too close. Finally, he looked at Song Bilu who was leaving, then disappeared from the spot and followed him.

The mysterious and majestic imperial palace is heavily guarded, with a sentry every three steps and a guard post every ten steps. All the imperial guards are fully armed. As long as there is a little movement somewhere, the army will rush over, and the world-famous palace guards will also descend from the sky.
